Collector of Central Excise Vs. Orissa Concrete Products (P) Ltd.

Court: Customs Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal CESTAT Delhi

Decided on: Sep-08-1986

Reported in: (1986)LC379Tri(Delhi)

1. The respondents manufactured concrete sleepers for exclusive supply to the Indian Railways. In the manufacture of such sleepers, an iron component called malleable cast iron insert was used.

Three points of dispute have arisen in the present appeal for our consideration : (1) the issue on merits - whether the cost of inserts should be included in the assessable value of sleepers under Section 4 of the Central Excises and Salt Act, 1944. (2) limitation - whether the show cause notice dated 8-10-1982 was time barred, and (3) estoppel - whether, after having approved the first price list No. 1/80 dated 27-2-1980 on 5-10-1980 without inclusion of the cost of inserts, the Assistant Collector was estopped from initiating proceedings to include such cost while approving the subsequent price lists.2.
